Project Meeting 2021.05.06

Phase 6a work

Finishing up task 7, usability improvements and task 4, transit pass ownership model
Need to review comments on task 3, telecommute model design
- why work from home after work location?
Planning to share progress on these items next week
Will do a release when these features are ready
Will be talking later today with AMPO about transferring over the GitHub and Travis accounts

Discussed IRFP questions, ideas with bench contractors
Start phase 7 scoping in July
$10k time and materials for support for each contractor for task 5
Task 1 PM will be time and materials as well and there's some overlap with task 5
Task 1 is lead, Task 5 is assistance
Realize can't do everything in task 4 and there were significant differences in the initial responses so please draft a proposal for the consortium to consider
For orca task, the goal is to clean up the licensing issues
Orca now bsd-3 so maybe we can revert to keeping it as an official dependency
We don't want to remove the injectables, just clean up the licensing issues
For data vis solutions, make sure to include licensing costs for commercial options
What data sources to use for vehicle type model? Need to design, implement, and validate a model using one of the existing example test beds as the starting point
It doesn't have to be a perfect model for a specific region, but needs to work and show it produces reasonable results
Could we use NHTS data?
It doesn't need to be integrated into downstream models
Needs to be part of Travis mini tests moving forward
Task 1 and 5 time and materials, and task 2, 3, 4 would prefer deliverable-based
Additional partners are joining soon. Let's discuss this and more marketing activities on a later call.
